Actually, there is still a lot of debate regarding the best 1 hander ever. I think a lot of people get it twisted when it comes to Stan's 1hander. Sure, he can win points with it. He went toe to toe with peak Djokovic, after all. As a pure winning shot, it's surely up there with the best of the best. In terms of variety, though, how is it any better than Rogers? The block return, the chip and charge return, the short crosscourt slice, the neutralizer, the flicks, halfvolleys etc etc. The list is endless. As an overall weapon, Roger's backhand clears.

Again, he was repeatedly bullied on his bh side and his flick or half volley did not help him, while they look ok, his bh would barely hold up for more than 4-5 straight baseline rallies, if he had stan’s technique on the bh and the upper body strength to pull it off, i really doubt if nadal and novak would have even beaten him once

@@numbersindia5312 well it was basically me just pointing out the flaw in your argument. All good and well that stan has incredible technique and upper body strength. But he doesn't posses any of the defensive ability Roger has on the backhand side and if you are going to ask me if i play, then surely, as someone who plays at a decent level, you would know just having a powerful backhand isn't going to cut it. Or else Stan would have definitely won more than 3 slams 1 measly masters title. Don't forget besides Novak, Roger has the most wins against Rafa of any other player. Nadal bullied Roger on clay while picking and choosing his battles off it and thus got into Roger's head. Stan has only 1 real win over Rafa and that was against the worst version of him in 2015. That 1 set in the AO final means fuck all tbh. Just look at their 2017 RG final. That was peak wawrinka getting a beating similar to Roger's 2008 defeat. More variables come into play with their backhands and Federers backhand is far more useful for varying situations hence his overall success against all the different generations he faced.

Yes, Stan's down the line backhand is the best of the best. But his backhand lacked versatility. Not many crosscourt winners. Not the most effective slice. I don't think I've ever seen him hit a drop shot and didnt' love very often. This is why, for me, Federer's one-hander is the greater weapon. Roger can do so much more with his backhand. He's hit winners with his slice. His drop shot is untouchable. And I've seen him hit countless lob winners with it. And some of the angles he gets while also hitting the ball on the bounce is incredible. And yes he can smack one down the line for a winner.
